Amir Khan to use Leicester as inspiration



Boxer Amir Khan says he will use Leicester’s unexpected title triumph as inspiration for his fight against middleweight world champion Canelo Alvarez this weekend.


Khan, a Bolton fan, said: “I’m seen as the underdog in this fight against Canelo but I feel this is the year of the underdog. What Leicester City have achieved is absolutely amazing. You would have been called crazy if you thought that Leicester would win the title at the start of the season - it’s such an inspiring story.

“I’m definitely going to use that to help me because it shows that even though people say you have no chance what really matters is how you perform on the pitch, or in the boxing ring in my case.”
